More than 20 rally cars so far unseen by the majority of island fans will go on show for the first time at Simpson Motors scrutineering this Saturday.

A huge turn-out is anticipated at the family-friendly fun day at the Warrens, St Michael, dealership where competitors, their service crews and sponsors will mingle with thousands of enthusiasts.

Competition cars will start arriving to a pre-arranged schedule from 12 p.m., with the Clubman and Modified classes arriving first, WRC-1 and WRC-2 last.

Island fans will find much to interest them, particularly among the cars from overseas: from the Ford Fiesta R5 Evo to be campaigned by M-Sport driver Elfyn Evans, through regular visitor Nigel Worswick’s Ford Escort WRC to 18 examples of the iconic Ford Escort, almost half new to the island, including the state-of-the-art MkII to be driven by local ace Neil Armstrong.
